Chapter 92 Chapter 11 Liu Bei seeks refuge with Cao Mengde (10)

Liu Bei took refuge in Cao Mengde Lu Bu was killed in Baimenlou "Leave an evil seed so that I can assassinate the old man in the future!" Cao Mengde's sword had already pierced Concubine Dong Gui's chest. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty fainted immediately. It is when the plums are yellow and ripe. Xu capital city was shrouded in desolation, under the eaves, on the windows, in the tea house and wine market, people silently looked at the street.One, two, three, one hundred... A team of about seventy or eighty people came, they were tied into a long string, there were sergeants wielding knives and guns on both sides, and a cavalry team opened the way in front, because Dong Cheng , Because of Zhongji, because of Prince Fu, and because of Wu Zilan, they will be taken to the execution ground.

When Ma Teng learned that Dong Chengdong's incident had happened, Liu Bei had fled to Xuzhou, so he returned to Xiliangzhou. "It's so mysterious, it's fortunate that the second brother met Zhang Liao, otherwise we would have been under Cao's sword!" Liu Bei said. "It's called great fortune if you survive a catastrophe. If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of no firewood." Guan Yu reined in the horse's head, held the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, and looked up at the sky. "Sooner or later, I will return to Xudu and tear Cao thief into pieces." Zhang Fei waved his Zhangba Snake Spear and said like thunder.

The three brothers arrived in Xuzhou without stopping. Although Che Zhou, governor of Xuzhou, was Cao Mengde's confidant, he was far away in Xuzhou and didn't know what had just happened in Xudu, so he went out of the city to meet him.Liu Bei originally wanted to kill Che Zhou without doing anything, but was worried that he would push Cao Mengde into a hurry. After all, he was not strong enough, and Yuan Shu was marching towards Xuzhou. After returning to Xuzhou, Liu Bei went home to visit the elders and children. At the same time, he sent people to spy on Yuan Shu's actions. At Chen Deng's suggestion, he sent Sun Qian to the north to lobby Yuan Shao, hoping to get Yuan Shao's assistance.

For Cao Mengde, Dong Chengzhi's generation is not worth mentioning, and the most regrettable thing is to let Liu Bei go.However, the harsh reality taught him a lesson: there is a possibility of being assassinated at any time.Cao Mengde gave an order to the palace supervisor: "From now on, all relatives and clans who enter the palace without my order, beheaded! Those who are not strict in guarding the palace, beheaded!" Send three thousand confidant soldiers to supplement the Imperial Forest Army, led by Cao Hong. In a rage, Cao Mengde was about to send troops to conquer Liu Bei.

Cheng Yu persuaded Cao Mengde: "When Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, he won the hearts of the people. Now that the tiger has returned to the mountain, he will naturally show off his prestige. Besides, Yuan Shao now shows signs of forming an alliance with Liu Bei. He is stationing troops at Guandu to attack Xudu. If we go east , Liu Bei is bound to ask Yuan Shao for help. Yuan Shao came here in a vacuum, and the situation is really bad." Xun Yu also said: "Let's just sit still and wait for action. Let Yuan Shu and Liu Bei compete with each other, and we will reap the benefits."

Cao Mengde already has his own ideas.He said: "Although the tiger has returned to the mountain, its vitality is almost gone. Liu Bei is not waiting for a while. If you don't take advantage of the situation and kill him, you will be in trouble when he recovers. Although Yuan Shao is powerful, according to his character, he can never be sincere." Help Liu Bei, there has been no contact between them for a long time. It is impossible to form a lip-to-mouth relationship all at once, Yuan Shao is nothing to be afraid of." The three were discussing when Guo Jia came in from the door.Cao Mengde briefly recounted their topic. Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "Yuan Shao's troubles are no different from those of women and Taoists. The aides tear each other down. Although they have strategies, they are mobs. Now, Liu Bei's new army is almost Starting from nothing, the prime minister will lead the army to the east, and we will surely win."

Guo Jia's suggestion hit it off with Cao Mengde.Cao Mengde sent someone to Che Zhou again, telling him to cooperate with the inside and outside, and try to get rid of Liu Bei. Che Zhou got the order and quickly asked Chen Deng to discuss it.Chen Deng said: "This matter is too simple. Now that Liu Bei is out recruiting troops and will be back in a few days, you arrange for soldiers to lie in ambush by the urn city, pretending to welcome him, and waiting for him to come back. Just solve the problem. We only defend and not attack. Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave, they can't do anything to us. Just persist for two days, and the prime minister's army will come." Che Zhou repeatedly praised Chen Deng.

Chen Deng told his father Chen Gui about Che Zhou's assassination of Liu Bei, and Chen Gui sent someone to inform Liu Bei.Zhang Feigu opened his eyes wide and wanted to lead people to attack Che Zhou.Guan Yu said: "The third younger brother is similar to the bare-armed Xu Chu. He can't use his brain, but he can be reckless. I have an idea..." The rest of the content was explained in Liu Bei's ear, and Liu Bei nodded frequently after hearing it. In the middle of the night, Xuzhou City was surprisingly quiet. A large group of people and horses swaggered towards Wengcheng, with the sound of horseshoes one after another.

"Where are you sergeants, why are you here in the middle of the night?" the sergeant on the tower asked loudly. "We are the prime minister's vanguard Zhang Liao troops." The sergeant downstairs replied. Che Zhou asked Chen Deng again, saying, "I'm afraid there may be fraud in this. I don't know what to do." "Lord Inspector, please open the city gate quickly, in case Liu Bei finds out." The soldiers under the tower shouted softly. Chen Deng knew it well, and said decisively: "Open the city gate to welcome the prime minister's vanguard troops!"

The city gate opened, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed into the Urn City first, and the army poured in like a tide. The chariots shouted that they had been fooled, and before they had time to put on their armor and mount their horses, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue knife chopped off his head.The rest of the soldiers turned their backs one after another, and Liu Bei's flag was planted all over the urn city.
